If you were hoping for 2019 to be all about Bowsette, let the heartbreak commence. Nintendo has officially made Bowsette non-canon.

In 2018 Nintendo announced, the switch version of Super Mario Bros. U will have a new item to feature. That item was the Super Crown. This would turn Toadette into a Princess Peach type of character named Peachette. As you would imagine the internet went crazy with all kinds of versions. Fans re-imagined just about every character. You can say the internet became obsessed.

One thing to make clear is this Just because the character isn’t canon, she’s still a permanent part of Mario fandom. It has been said thoughthat since Bowsette is a fan-made thing and as a result,it could actually deter some people from getting interested in Mario due to how cringe-worthy Bowsette is. This is one of those times where fans might be tarnishing, rather than bolstering respect, for an iconic franchise.

You can find the response to these fan-made theories here from Nintendo. From Bowsette’s popularity came Boosette, which is a version of a post-Super Crown King Boo, who also took hold with fans in record time. What are your thoughts on this news from Nintendo? Let us know in the comments below.
